TheCorinthian Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/olympics/article4583174.ece The International Olympic Committee has ordered an investigation into mounting allegations that Chinese authorities covered up the true age of their gold-medal winning gymnastics star because she was too young to compete. About damn time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Chinese culture...lying, cheating and stealing is just doing good business! If you don't get caught you win, if you do get caught, you lose, but you never had it before you tried so you really don't lose...or so is how they think (and act)...from what I have seen and experienced.

cavanami Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 ...All the good work China did to put on these Olympics could be forgotten because of an unnecessary, arrogant move by the government. Why risk everything to put a 14-year old in the competition when they could have replaced her with an of-age 16-year old gymnast? Sure, He is a better gymnast than the Chinese gymnasts who were eligible to compete, but with the judges they had at the Olympics, would it really have mattered? http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/blog/fourth_place_medal/post/IOC-orders-investigation-into-He-Kexin-s-age?urn=oly,102564 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavanami Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Maybe the 14 year old may be banned from future Olympics? If so, what a waste! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian2 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Easy to figure out their age ... slice 'em in half and count the rings The PI police have worked out how to do it. Wed Jul 30 2008 On this night there were four raids conducted by the NBI based on a complaint issued by City Hall in that underage girls were working in the Clubs . The bars were, Roadhouse, Alaska, King of Diamonds (KOD) and Voodoo. The raids started about midnight. There were only five girls taken from Roadhouse and they were all back at work before the bar closed for the night. All of the Alaska girls and staff were taken. It was reported that most of the girls from KOD and Voodoo were also taken. Again, none of these clubs were closed and no reports of any underage girls discovered. It should be noted that they are still using a dentist to determine the age of the girls! Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh_Hoy Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 China seems to have a policy of executing those who cause the country to lose face. I wonder who they'll shoot when the dust settles. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
